Wolf Child by Serena AkeroydMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Fantastic New World To Dive Into
I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
I haven’t read all of Serena Akeroyd’s book, but most of them have rated pretty high on my list of books I’d like to read again. I particularly enjoyed TriAlpha Chronicles and this book takes us into another wolf shifter based world.
The world building is complex and interesting and I really enjoyed getting the outline of the way the shifter culture was structured, especially learning about the role the Mother plays in their society.
Ethan and Austin are twin wolf shifters, a rarity in their world. They are joint enforcers for their pack and are having a rare time off wandering round a carnival when they find a woman who has been nearly killed by an alpha wolf shifter. As it is a full moon she is likely to survive and transition, even though her attack is forbidden and her attacker will be punished. The twins take her back to pack land and watch her transformation before taking her to Eli the pack alpha. All three are drawn to her.
Sabina has had a very hard life and has spent the last 12 years hiding in carnivals to avoid being killed by her father or brother. When she is transformed she has no life to walk away from and reaches for her new life with open hands, not realising the full depth of the changes about to happen in her life.
As always with this author’s work the character development is excellent. They are all distinctive in a believable way that avoids the caricatures that are easy to use when writing about multiple characters. The plot construction is clever and engaging, as the author pulls you through the twists and turns of their relationships with each other, the Mother and the pack. There were a few slower moments in the middle of the book, but I still quite enjoyed them because they were essential to the growth of the characters.
This world is so enticing I can’t wait to read the next book in the series, which seems to involve Sabina’s sister from the tantalising snippet at the end of the last book. This is the only problem with reading a book as soon as it comes out, you have to wait ages for the next one. At least there was no cliffhanger, just a well written book that encourages the reader to get their hands on the next book as soon as possible to carry out learning about the author’s world.
